Our best guess at the pricing at this point is in the $999-$1700 ($1350 has been thrown around) range as the Leica Lens itself costs $550 today. The benefits of a micro four thirds camera on the Inspire 1 are pretty significant. With the larger sensor much more detail can be captured. The improved optics of the lens itself will make the professionals and serious amateurs happy.

DJI has updated its homepage with the above countdown timer giving a hint to a new release of some kind. The timer will run down to 0 at roughly 5pm PDT (8pm EDT) tomorrow September 10th.

Our take on this is that there will be an announcement of further camera attachments for the Inspire 1. Perhaps an upgraded camera so the Inspire 1 and the Phantom 3 Pro no longer share the same camera sensor. Maybe we will finally see the release of the Inspire 1 camera handheld gimbal. In any case stay tuned for more info.
